Bishop Fellay’s Program: Father Pivert’s 2017 Warning

The Catholic Trumpet | August 11, 2025

We write now in 2025 AD, and in hindsight we clearly see the rotten fruits of Bishop Fellay’s 2012 AD agreement with Modernist Rome. The Neo-SSPX has recently, along with many other documented compromises covered on this website, The Recusant, and Catacombs.org, publicly defended accepting priests ordained in the Novus Ordo rite without conditional ordination despite a double prudent doubt. The first doubt concerns the validity of the new rite itself. The second doubt concerns the validity of the bishops who confer it. This double prudent doubt demands conditional ordinations, but this has been dismissed.

We do not know where Father Pivert stands today. However, his 2017 AD analysis struck the heart of the danger posed by compromise under Bishop Fellay’s leadership.

The course of this ship[sic] is fully visible. It is a complete allegiance to the Vatican II Church. Whether by subversion or inversion, this path leads away from the true Church. Without the Blessed Virgin Mary’s request for the Consecration of Russia being properly fulfilled, the crisis will only grow worse. It is the duty of all readers to do everything possible to urge the proper Consecration.

Below we have posted a translation from the original French text of M. l’abbé Pivert’s article using Google Translate. The full original article can be found here:

HERE IS MGR. FELLAY'S PROGRAM

Cardinal Müller has just communicated to Bishop Fellay – with a request to transmit them to all the priests of the Fraternity of Saint Pius X – the conditions to be met before any canonical recognition. It will be necessary to recognize the Second Vatican Council and its consequences, the legitimacy of the new mass, to take an oath according to the new modernist profession of faith. What will be the rest?

1. It is certain that Bishop Fellay will refuse these conditions. He could seek an agreement with the modernists while pretending not to betray doctrine, but he could not recognize modernism openly and as such.

2. He will thus restore or give himself an image of "traditionalist" and will be able to blame all those who distrusted him and lent him the intention to betray. They were indeed the subversives who, by attacking an honest authority that was always faithful, risked the breakup of the Fraternity of Saint Pius X, he will tell them.

3. He cuts the grass under the feet of those who hoped to take advantage of the next general chapter to get rid of him by accusing him of treason. Certainly, some could see the maneuver and still vote against his re-election, but they lose the most glaring accusations. On the contrary, Bishop Fellay's defenders will have a good game to praise his ability to have stayed the course in difficult and delicate discussions.

4. The good priests who do not want to rally and whose only criterion is to refuse the agreement signed in due form lose their only argument.

5. However, the problem is far from being solved and the rally is far from being ruled out. It is still the new modernist code that governs the life of the Fraternity of Saint Pius X and his faithful. It is always in accordance with the modernists that marriages must be made. Rome has put its hands on the confessors and the Fraternity of Saint Pius X has still not removed this hand. It still does not form an elite capable of any sacrifice to martyrdom to face the fighting to come. And I'm not talking about Islam, I'm talking about the pressure of modernism, that of liberalism, the modern world.

6. Meanwhile, Bishop Fellay will continue to sigh after the recognition of Rome. A door is closed to him, he will look for a window to pass through. He showed enough what his heart and mind were tending towards. He has sufficiently shown his duplicity, especially in his 2012 letter, which he himself recognized as more than ambiguous and that it could be given contradictory meanings. He said sufficiently that Rome was asking to silence the critics and that it was right. This silence will allow him to preserve the future of negotiations while waiting for better times.

7. Bishop de Galarreta will continue to give agreed sermons, such as the one on June 29. Yet he already knew the demands of Rome and he recommended to future priests "the holiness of the priesthood" which he presented as the only remedy to all problems. As if we could be a holy priest without protecting the herd against the wolf, even and especially when the wolf pretends to move away. As if a holy priest should not give an account to the sovereign judge of the number of sheep entrusted to him. We are far from the sermons of Bishop Lefebvre during ordinations: "Who will I deal with in Rome? To Freemasons? "

8. Bishop Tissier de Mallerais will continue to preach submission to superiors who have a state pardon. He who, in 1988, in a letter he wrote to me, told me that we could not justify the coronations, but only follow Bishop Lefebvre who was the only one who knew what he was doing! What he declared again in Fideliter. He who declared to a priest that it was not up to the simple soldier to make reprimands to his leaders. Oh, that Bishop Fellay's apparent firmness will seem to give him reason to have trusted him!

9. And all this concert will fatten liberalism which is on two levels. That of those who love the world, but refuse its excesses, that of those who do not love the world, but consider it more prudent not to turn it on their backs. The Fraternity of Saint Pius X will be obese with liberalism.

10. Catholic Fidelity will be protected from the third way, from those who wanted a middle way between the rallying in Rome and what they call the subversive disobedience of the resistance.
